This episode of "Learning English For Work" focuses on business jargon, specifically phrases related to workplace organization. Co-hosts Pippa and Phil discuss the prevalence of corporate jargon, noting that while some find it confusing, business leaders often find it useful. They explore animal-related metaphors like "herding cats," which describes an unfeasible task of organizing independent individuals, and "ducks in a row," meaning to get things organized. The hosts also touch on "micromanaging" and other common phrases like "learnings" and "put our shoulders to the wheel," inviting listeners to submit phrases they don't understand for future explanation.
